it looks like as if it would break apart

I like this better

I agree with you ...however I think the character lines of the first picture match better those spy pics...

I tried to combine them and also repair the 'breaking apart look' (jack)

Here is the result



I changed :
- upper door edge rounded
- rearlights
- door handle tilted to be in line with character line
- rear bumper (lower charcter line as extension of lower character line on door)

The boot lid is still not 100% right I guess

I surely agree,diesel in a roadster? no thanx!

Hey fellas, is there any word on what engines engines will be used in the Z4?? A revised N54 would seem great. Would BMW be crazy enough to shove the M3's V8 under the bonnet?? Can Scott or Eni elaborate??

I mean they put the inline six in the Z4M so I'm sure they'll put the new V8 into the new generation. It's a perfect match and it'll go perfectly with the TT3.0 engine.

They have to use the V8 somewhere else as well, since the 1er is not a candidate, this will work.

SICK SICK SICK. I hope your right and the do it. It will be monstrous with a DCT. I mean the 6MT M3 rips 60 in 4.1 12.5quartermile.

Well, the new shape looks great !

BUT

The main question I really wonder is: with all the new equipment, a larger car, bigger engines, folding roof...

What will be the new price of this z4 ???

Will it still be affordable for people who bought the first one ?

I mean the entry level price for the current z4 is around 30 000 €, what will be the entry level price for the z4 II /z5 ???

I'll bet around 40 000 €... And that will be sad...

I think the price will increase as well since it seems like they are trying to move the Z4 upmarket. However, we could be surprised since the price of the E9x didn't go up by TOO much

Z4 is going more upscale than the current one though. A base Z4 I is much cheaper than a Boxter or SLK, but Z4 II will probably be as expensive.
